God of Tricksters

“Good job.” Loki smirked while raising his hand.

“!!!” The slime was startled when he saw the barrier gradually approaching him as if it was alive.𝑜𝓋𝓵xt.𝓒𝚘𝚖

He didn’t sense any power that moved the barrier, but it was because the Heavenly Sovereign’s job was only to create a container.

Once it was completed, Loki used his World Re-Creation and expanded the reality from all around the slime. Because the expansion came from all directions to the inside, it looked like the barrier was being compressed.

And it seemed that Loki planned to compress the slime to the limit to reduce its size.

The slime hurriedly expanded his slime, trying to dissolve the barrier as soon as possible. He also wanted to spread some slime on the ground so that he couldn’t capture him completely.

But Loki had already seen through his plan. Before he could spread the slime, Loki used the World Re-Creation to alter the laws of physics in the area. What he removed was the gravity, causing the slime to float with a single push.

Using that change to his opportunity, the Heavenly Sovereign used the wind element to throw him into the air.

The slime was angry. He never thought that the Heavenly Sovereign would be this annoying when he just forgot about him for a moment. He expanded his body continuously and began to dissolve the barrier.

But to his surprise, the slime had a hard time dissolving the barrier.

“!!!” The slime’s body wobbled a few times as if it was showing its surprise.

The Heavenly Sovereign smirked and said, “As expected, to dissolve something, you need a certain degree of knowledge about that power. However, my barrier is made of all elements that keep changing every second. Before you can comprehend it, the elements have changed, resulting in you restarting the progress all over again.”

The slime didn’t expect that the Heavenly Sovereign would be this annoying. If he knew about him, he would have killed him first before taking on Loki.

But it was too late. His body had been almost separated into two by Loki’s sword and he couldn’t dissolve this barrier.

In the end, his entire body was lifted into the air, contained inside a spherical barrier. The slime was gradually dissolving the barrier, but it would take some time to be able to escape from this.

During that time, Loki used the World Re-Creation to compress the slime.

On the one hand, this action forced the slime’s body to completely cover Loki’s sword. On the other hand, if this continued, there might be some damage to his body since he was never compressed to this degree.

The slime tried to find a solution, but because his body didn’t touch the ground, he couldn’t sneak attack those two. So, his only way to escape was to rapidly expand himself, countering the compression power.

Unfortunately for him, the World Re-Creation caused the change in the realm itself, not touching the slime. That was why no matter what the slime did, it wouldn’t be able to stop the World Re-Creation. The slime could only dissolve the barrier and escape from that place.

*Wobble!*

The slime released a huge amount of Magic Power, increasing the speed of dissolving the barrier.

The Heavenly Sovereign narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the slime concentrated its power in one place. He said, “It’s not good. I can only contain it for another… eight seconds.”

“It’s enough,” Loki said while clapping his hands. It seemed that Loki also did the same thing as the slime. He released the 5,000 points of Magic Power from his body, influencing the strength of the World Re-Creation.

He compressed the slime faster, but as a result, the friction also helped the slime break the barrier apart.

When the barrier was thin enough, the barrier started to crack.

“!!!” This was the chance. The slime immediately slipped inside the crack and expanded itself, causing the crack to shatter.

With this, there was nothing that contained the slime anymore.

He started dissolving the Magic Power around him, weakening the World Re-Creation. At the same time, the slime flowed out of the barrier, albeit it couldn’t fall to the ground due to the change of law of physics.

“…” The slime was confused because no matter what it did, it still floated for no reason.

Seeing that the slime wasn’t aware of its situation, the Heavenly Sovereign couldn’t help but say, “It seems that the slime can only absorb one’s power, not their knowledge. Or it might be thinking that the knowledge is useless. Nonetheless, this is convenient for us, right?”

“Of course.” Loki nodded with a serious expression, observing the slime. Since the slime continued to float, he had a few more abilities to try.

He summoned the giant sword from earlier as if he was planning to mutilate the slime in the air.

The slime didn’t realize that the reason why he couldn’t do anything to this sword was because the illusion was only in his head. It wasn’t in the real world.

Loki used the Mind Image Skill to plant an image of a sword in the slime’s consciousness. Unless the slime dissolved the Magic Power in his own consciousness, he wouldn’t be able to escape from this ability.

But due to the amount of Magic Power the slime had, the sliver of Magic Power used to plant that image would never be discovered.

That was why this was the best attack against the slime. It might not give any harm to its body, but it could buy him some time after all.

During that time, Loki could use other techniques to harm the slime such as the World Re-Creation. Due to the previous compression, the slime’s body seemed to become more solid and its size had shrunk a tenth.

Even though the slime was in a liquid state, it seemed that there were some solid and gas parts, which became compressed, giving an illusion to the slime that the power was effective.

They were lucky that the slime didn’t have extensive knowledge of science.

‘Well, its power is similar to that of a Singularity, but I can’t really say he has reached that stage. In that case, there should be some ways to defeat the slime…’ Loki thought while waving his hands. ‘I have a lot of things to try after all. I hope you stay interesting for a bit longer, slime bastard.’
